What Medication Can Reduce Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation Between Lower Lip And Chin ?

Hi, I am 22 years old, and I have post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation between my lower lip and my chin. I have tried all the chemical peeling (6 Sessions) in Kaya Skin Clinic but it didn't affected me at all. It's been 6 years since I got this Skin Disease and although I have tried almost everythig but the patch is still dark brown/black. Can you please help me. Thanks.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation between lower lip and chin.

Post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation results due to activity of melanocytes in the superficial epidermal layer of skin.

Lightening agents such as Kojic acid or azelaic acid cream application which you can use under dermatological guidance. Eat healthy diet containing lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.

The most important part in treatment is by sun protection by all measures. Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of pigmentation can be dealt best for future time.

Take care
